Mpenzi can you please be clear.

Did this court interpret the constitution?

By so doing did it set precedent?

Is one of these precedent that it has found a clause illlegal?

by saying that one religion is being promoted ahead of others, does it mean that CRE should be banned in schools and catholic University should be banned too?

Please, lets be clear. This was an ill timed and unprecedented ruling. That is why you see nearly all lawyers in shock! For once lawyers are in agreement.

while people are busy celebrating the unheralded death of Kadhis courts, this ruling effectively means the death of all mission hospitals and christian colleges. Their mere presence is discriminating against me.

good of them to state that they have no power to amend the constitution when in effect by declaring the section illegal they have for all intent and purposes purported to amend it.

otherwise what do you think is the result of this ruling in respect to the relevant sections?

I give up. A wonderful chance to have a new good constitution, many times better than what we already have, has possibly been ruined. Over 200 great clauses as 3 judges dwell on one; while one ignorant saddist shouts himself hoarse in this thread coz of 2 or 3 clauses he cant even xplain how bad they are....All I have are prayers 4 this country, n the success of the draft on aug. 4th. Mathukuma, alongside MO1, be happy now that your current (old) constitution is gaining ground on our proposed draft.....dishonest whining kenyans who still beleive in PERFECT......only in the dictionary!

the coastal strip sure never belonged to the sultans, just as kenya never belonged to the british. as well as other colonies. so why don't we just challenge the way african countries were partitioned in the first instance and do it afresh.

in fact the british never had the authority to 'grant' us independence in the first place.

you see where that one is going?

It's not true that people with Christian names n Caucasian names are Christians.Read Philip Ochieng's article 'Thank God I'm atheist' n other articles

I once was NO but now im YES... until things turn otherwise

but as ive always argued constitution making is still POLITICS..
Ive also mentioned here before that the church has been given only 2 bones to keep busy at.

Its is the usual battle of the status quo versus forces of change.. and the have nots the faithful pawns..

maybe i should just go abstain

@nanfor1, CRE is not an evangelism class, nor is IRE nor is HRE. the point of those subjects is to teach the belief of s a bunch of guyz called Christians or Muslims or Hindus. if someone is ready to write a curriculum for African religious education - knock yourself out.
I have always believed Christians (as the bible defines them) in this country are a minority what we have as a majority is a bunch of pew-warming, church going, Jewish and European Name bearing folk. Who think Natural Law or the constitution was based on Christian Laws. Actually the same folk talked about earlier think the real Christians are "fundamentalist" or MOI backing or INTOLERANT - go on flatter us...if you haven't noticed....we don't care insults do not have hooks that will hold on to you once they are directed at you,
Jesus told us the world will hate us, you are rubber-stamping it.
on this point we are talking about lets make it clear ONCE AND FOR ALL. The Christian Church Wants the Constitution just like everyone else it just WANTS A JUST and FAIR document to all people living in this country including those pew-warming people who cannot see this INJUSTICE.
